No, because the article didn't say whether they were or weren't and I didn't think it was necessary to politicize the thread.

It wasn't my intention to politicize the thread.  It hadn't occurred to me that there could/would be debate on this.  My apologies.

Just when I thought Craig couldn't top the ignorance he exhibited in the Sen. Kennedy thread, he posts this bullshit. Craig, just do the forum a favor and leave. Your stupidity unintentional humor stopped being funny a long time ago.
